a rainy sunday random voiceramble, Thinging or not-Thinging a potentially controversial poem, and pancakes (Patreon)

(patron-only)

good morning loves......

before i dig in to the afternoon work of getting ready the State of All Things which you'll get later today, here's a little sunday morning voice-ramble to keep you company. it's about 13 minutes. i talk about my voice (that actual physical thing) and i ask you to weigh in on a question about Thinging a certain Poem and whether it's a good idea or not.

if you don't want to listen to the voiceramble, here's the upshot: i wrote a long poem for a charity event in boston...it's a meta poem, a poem sort of about "poem for dzhokar", the poem i got so much shit for in the wake of the boston bombing, and the way i feel about it a few years on. it's a poem about empathy (surprise).

i'm incredibly proud of the new poem....i spent a fuck ton of time on it, neil helped me to edit it, and i know it's good, and i know i want to publish it here on patreon and here only, i'm not sure whether Thinging it, even though i spent a good chunk of my life writing it, is a good look, even if we give most of the money to charity. you say. it's your money. i'm also afraid people will give me shit for it, though i'm hoping they won't. i never know with people.

also, i love the idea of taking WALKS now that it isn't ballz kold and recording these little musings for you. it's a nice ritual....and it takes me to the end of the driveway and back in about 15 minutes. CARDIO and BLOGGING all the kardashians are doing it.

comments about whatever, please, i'm reading and responding today.

i love you.
